LSU Continuing Ed Launches Online Notary Public Prep Course

11/15/2013 11:15 AM

BATON ROUGE – LSU Continuing Education has partnered with iNotaryNow to offer an online
notary public preparatory course. The course helps participants prepare for the Louisiana
notary public exam. Notaries administer oaths, take affidavits, authenticate certain
documents and perform other non-contentious legal tasks. A notary commission can add
to the holder’s value as an employee and also allows the holder to perform notary
functions independently.

Participants spend one evening a week, from 6 to 9 p.m., in a webinar-style class
that includes live interaction with an instructor. Participants can access assignments,
lectures, practice tests, discussion forums, and other course resources from their
own computer. Participants have access to sample juridical acts such as wills, testaments,
trusts, tutorships, mortgages, promissory notes, cash sales, credit sales, affidavits,
powers of attorney, donations and more.

The online notary public prep course updates LSU Continuing Education’s long-running
classroom course by expanding access to those who find it inconvenient or impossible
to attend course meetings on campus.

“The online notary public preparatory course continues to fundamentally transform
notary education in the state of Louisiana,” said Shane Milazzo, founder of iNotaryNow.

Milazzo is a commissioned notary public with statewide jurisdiction who has experience
in both education and telecommunications. He is excited by the possibilities now available
to adult learners, noting, “We use the power of new technology coupled with proven,
insightful, and intensive teaching methods to create an experience that delivers exceptional
education to motivated students across the state as they prepare for the Louisiana
notary public examination.”

The course is delivered through a platform called iCourse, developed by TNC Solutions
LLC. TNC Solutions serves the needs of organizations ranging from small businesses
to publicly traded companies in diverse fields, including law, medicine, banking,
education and churches.
